World governing body bans transgender women athletes FMTNews FMTSports
The tighter testosterone rules will impact athletes with differences in sex development such as Olympic 800 metre champion Caster Semenya .
The tighter measures around one of the most contentious and divisive issues in sport follow a similar move by World Aquatics in 2022. The governing body had previously floated the option of transgender athletes being allowed to compete in the female category if they, too, maintained testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per litre for 24 months.
The tighter testosterone rules will impact DSD athletes such as two-times Olympic 800 metre champion Caster Semenya, Christine Mboma, the 2020 Olympic silver medallist in the 200m, and Francine Niyonsaba, who finished runner-up to Semenya in the 800 at the 2016 Olympics.
